Dry dash pad? Bag balm. 120-130

Just wanted to pass along a possible solution for those out there with dry, increasingly brittle vinyl dash covers or other plastics. If you give the dash, for example, a clean and then rub some bag balm into it, give it time to absorb, and then wipe off the excess, it would appear that you can breathe some new life into the vinyl.

The dash on my 220 and some of the beige plastics in my 240 have responded very positively to the above regiment.

Cheers,
Zach

      You can find Bag Balm at most any chain pharmacy store and independent stores, also. Maybe your grocer?

      Hope that helps.
